National Videogames Festival Scores Enslaved, Brink, Fable III Devs Speakers
UK Museum Gets Ninja Theory, Splash Damage, Lionhead Guest Speakers
"BAF Game 2010" is the National Media Museum's celebration and exploration of "connections between video games, animation, and film". It's not in London, it's in Bradford and it's on from Tuesday 9 November to Wednesday 10 November.
Not only that but it's managed to score some significant local gaming talent to represent the industry:
These include, Guy Midgley and James Stephenson of Ninja Theory, Tim Appleby and Laurel Austen of Splash Damage, Andy Brunton of Lionhead, Tim Heaton from Creative Assembly and gaming industry expert Charles Cecil.
Here are the details as we've been presented with them:
Ninja Theory’s lead animator Guy Midgley and senior animator James Stevenson will talk about animating the characters, motion capture and scriptwriting for the new Playstation 3 game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
Lead character artist, Tim Appleby and senior concept artist, Laurel Austin, from Splash Damage will give an insight into the concept art and character design behind new action game, Brink.
Andy Brunton, lead animator at Lionhead will speak about his work on Fable III, the latest instalment to the action-packed, popular Fable series.
Charles Cecil, who recently directed the new Dr Who: The Adventure Games for the BBC and will be joined by Sumo’s creative director Sean Millard to unravel the secrets of bringing the Doctor’s interactive adventures to the PC.
BAF Game will conclude with a panel discussion that focuses on the new wave of stereoscopic 3D, motion sensing controllers and mobile gaming which will be chaired by Jamie Sefton, sector manager at Game Republic, and will feature experts including Ian Bickerstaff from Sony’s stereo 3D team and Ian Palmer, Dean of Informatics at the University of Bradford.
